Melania Trump Denies Epstein Ties

In a rare and direct intervention, Melania Trump characterized rumors linking her to Jeffrey Epstein as 'malicious lies' and called for congressional hearings to allow victims to testify.

The statement reportedly caught White House aides by surprise and comes as the administration faces renewed pressure over the Epstein saga.

Survivors of Epstein's abuse have pushed back against the First Lady's remarks, accusing her of shifting the burden of proof onto those who suffered.

President Trump later defended his wife's right to speak out, acknowledging her long-standing frustration with the ongoing speculation.
